Dave and Dave make it through an entire season of podcasts and meet in the fantasy super bowl. Both teams get a thorough run down, but with Antonio Brown out, the matchup starts to look lopsided. MATHBOX makes us feel better about starting a few of this year's fantasy studs, and gives us a few ideas for desperation plays in the final week including Theo Riddick, Marvin Jones, JuJu Smith-Schuster and even Ben Watson.

The fantasy semi-finals brings out the best in the pod. Carson Wentz needs a replacement and the reluctant Blake Bortles fancast continues. Everyone is reminded that "You Gotta Dance With Who You Came to the Dance With". All the top WRs have great match-ups but don't start Robbie Anderson. Dave's sister thinks Eric Decker is extremely good looking. There are almost no good options at Tight End. The other Dave got engaged, favorite hangover food in Chicago, George Clinton is a US president.
